I remember on here, couple years back someone posted a link to help stop those 800 numbers to stop calling for like a few months or so.

I remember it worked for me for a few months, but i don't remember that website. If anyone knows it that would be quite helpful!

I thought this was a one time deal. But here is the link I used.

I only receive calls now from my credit card company wanting me to sign up for some insurance plan.

Or the local newspaper wanting to sell a subscription.

There used to be a 5 year limit then you had to re-register your number. I guess now they are in a congressional hearing about making it permanent.

I just re-registered because I started getting calls again, It may not be a lifetime deal.

Some states are also maintaining Do Not Call listings, but I didn't find one for AZ.

It can take up to 4 months after you sign on the National list for the companies to obtain the update. SO, meanwhile . . .

Make sure you tell EACH and EVERY caller to "please put me on your do not call list." each company is required to have one. If you say, "do not call me again," or "don't call here again" you have NOT said the magic words and under federal law they CAN phone you again next week!!!

There is one place that will call us 5+ times a night, it's always from the same number and always for the same product.

We've told them 1000 times to stop calling us, but then they call us right back. I swear it should be considered harassment the way the call us. Next time they call (tonight, no doubt) I'll be sure to say "please put me on your do not call list". Hopefully that will put a stop to it.

Thanks, we have gotten already ten calls this past hour.
All for random things.
